Hi All!!
I guess, you would like newbies to introduce them selves, so here I am
My name is Hanne and I am a 34 year old female from Esbjerg in Denmark, and I have had a fascination for insects for many years. In the last 7 years, I have been taking pictures of various insects in the wild, which I still do - and I love it!! Some of these photos can also be seen on my homepage which (unfortunately) only is in Danish. And I'll have to say that I'm just an amateur!
One of my favourite insects is the praying mantis, which I REALLY would like to keep as "pets" in small terrariums. I have bought the homes for them and various items, and now I "just" need the insects. I have never kept a mantis before, and it's not to be found in the Danish nature, unfortunately. I know, that some people have them as pets in my country, but as I understand, it is not that many, so I'm kind of worried, that it might be a little difficult for me to get some of these fantastic creatures! If I can't buy them in my own country, I have thought about buying an egg case from another country (and learning it the hard way ) but I don't know if that would be a bad idea, because of the time it will take, before the pack will arrive to me. If you have any comments about my thoughts of buying egg cases from foreign countries, please let me know!
I have been reading a lot about Praying Mantis - and still do, I have bought books about how to keep them, and I believe that I can do the job
BTW....Is the correct spelling mantids , if you are talking about more than one of them??? Yeah.... I'm not that good in this language, but I guess, you have that figured out by now!
